Greive, Mata & Waine are all still fairly young, with maybe higher ceilings than where they currently are - but I don't think there is much danger of under rating them at international level at the moment. I'd say as Kiwis it could be the opposite. Greive with 4 goals in 28 SPL games this season is agruably our 2nd best forward behind Wood.

By contrast Isak (who probably won't play against the AWs) scored 10 EPL goals in 22 games, with the odd magical assist as well.

And for all the skill of our young midfield, none of them are prolific scorers at club level either. Not sure tinkering with the formation is going to change that much.

What gives me some hope is that Waine non goal (offside against Peru). Was some really nice build up down the left, from a quickest counter. Nice ball Pijnaker to Garbett who does a lovely turn to beat his man, then a peach of a low cross from Libby. At 5.20mins in this video. A little reminder of what this team can do. Even sans Wood & Singh.
